Choose how much of the trip you want us to carry
Start with Shanghai. Add Beijing, Suzhou, Hangzhou or a factory visit when you are ready.
Shanghai day guide
An English-speaking guide, with or without a private car, for exactly the days you need one. For families visiting relatives, stopovers and work trips with a free day.
Shanghai essentials and Shanghai to Beijing
Four or seven days with hotels, high-speed trains, guides and tickets handled. Two to six people, your dates, your pace.
Sourcing trips and factory visits
Yiwu market trips, factory visits across the Yangtze Delta and trade fair support, with bilingual coordinators who understand importing.
The parts that are usually missing from a China tour
You book with an Australian company. Most private China tours are sold by companies in China. Your money, your contract and your refund rights all sit overseas. With us they sit in Melbourne, under the Australian Consumer Law.
We run the trip ourselves. Our Shanghai team briefs every guide and driver, holds the bookings and is on WhatsApp while you travel. Problems get fixed the same day.
Real-name bookings handled. Museums, the Forbidden City and high-speed trains need passport-registered bookings that foreign cards often cannot complete. We do that part before you land.
Prices that say what is in and what is out. Every quote lists hotels, transport, guide days, tickets and meals line by line. Nothing appears later as a surprise.
Three kinds of travellers we built this for
Families going back to see relatives
One partner speaks Chinese, the other doesn't, and the kids speak none. Hire a guide for the days the family wants to sightsee, and let everyone enjoy it.
First-timers who don't want a coach tour
You want Shanghai and the Great Wall without forty strangers and a shopping stop. A private car, a good guide and a plan that bends when you are tired.
Australian importers and business owners
You buy from China and want to see the suppliers. We get you into the markets and factories with someone who can translate the negotiation, not just the menu.
